<p>A set of (slow motion) videos of bumblebees taken around 2020. Dataset also contains a CSV file with citizen science guesses as to the species in each, guesses by a neural network and a ground truth (from an expert).</p>
<h4>Videos</h4>
<p>The videos (are stored in the set of zip files, to make it </p>
<p>easier to download/upload.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Videos: </p>
<p> - taken using smart phones with slow motion mode.</p>
<p> - codec: H.264 (High Profile).</p>
<p> - 1280 × 720.</p>
<p> - mp4.</p>
<h4>CSV</h4>
<p>The CSV file contains the following headers:</p>
<p> > video -- the filename of the video (see in zip files)</p>
<p> > person 1..person 5 -- the guesses by each individual as to the species. No entry means they didn't guess for that entry.</p>
<p> > CNN -- the guesses by the convolutional neural network*</p>
<p> > ground truth -- the guess by an expert.</p>
<p>Most entries are either blank or the scientific name for a species. There is also 'whitebuff' -- which means that bee was either Bombus terrestris or one of the Bombus lucorum species, but are very often too difficult to distinguish in the field, so have been combined.</p>
